Zhong froze in place, unable to see the expression on her face.

On the contrary, Zhong Xiaocao gasped, reached out and tugged at Zhong Xiaohua's sleeve fiercely, and lowered his voice to speak angrily.

"Zhong Xiaohua, are you crazy? Do you even know what you're talking about? It's more difficult in our house now, but we can wait until ...... later."

didn't wait for her stupid eldest sister to further imagine the future, and Zhong Xiaohua ruthlessly punctured her beautiful fantasy.

"Wait until you grow up? When we grow up, you and I are going to get married, and in a family like ours, does anyone want it? You can say that you will not marry in your life, but there is a sister-in-law in the family, does anyone want to marry us younger brothers? Besides, if there is a war at the border pass, what about the imperial court conscription? Does Eminem still want us to firmly refuse? ”

When it comes to disobedience, it is a crime.

Maybe something will come out of it!

"Hasn't it happened yet? What do you want to do so much? Where is there so much in case ......"

Zhong Xiaocao's face turned white, and he pulled the corners of his mouth at Zhong Xiaohua a little stiffly.

And Zhong Xiaohua snorted coldly and glanced at the other party coldly.

"Really? But you're willing to gamble on the future of a few brothers in your family, but I don't. I don't want to wait for them to grow up and then complain about us, whether they want to join the government or not, that's their business. But we can't ...... fundamentally."

Zhong Xiaohua was impassioned, but was rejected by Zhong.

"Enough! Don't talk about it anymore. If you call me Eminem, I have an obligation to protect you. Although this life will be very hard and tiring, at least I am still alive. ”

Her last two words were a little vague, but they made Zhong Xiaohua deafening.

Alive?

She gasped in her heart, and her little face turned white.

"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you? You okay? Do you say a word? Eminem is just, Eminem also has his own difficulties, you understand a little. ”

Zhong Xiaocao anxiously watched Eminem groping and leaving, and then glanced at Zhong Xiaohua, almost losing his soul.

She looked as if she had been drained of her energy in an instant, and she almost sat down on the ground.

Xiao Wu almost didn't cry in fear.

"Second sister, don't you have anything to do! Second sister ......"

The noisy sound inside made Zhong Xiaosan, who had just come back from the house to put down the firewood, walk in.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what's going on?"

Wasn't he fine when he left before?

Zhong Xiaowu stood next to him with his mouth curled and his red eyes sobbing.

"The second sister told Eminem that she wanted to make more money and let us go to study with the master to get the top prize, but Eminem beat the second sister and said that we were not allowed to go."

Xiao Wu said and spoke, closed his eyes and threw himself straight at Xiao San, hugged him and began to howl loudly.

Zhong Xiaodian and Zhong Xiaoliu, who had been playing next door, also entered the door holding hands, looking at all this a little blankly, afraid to speak.

Zhong Xiaocao sighed, turned her head and glanced at the dark back room, knowing that she must be more distressed when she hit Xiaohua Eminem, but she didn't ...... at all

"Xiaohua, don't think too much. Go back too, it's okay! ”

Zhong Xiaohua slowly raised her head, looked around, and finally landed on Xiao San's body.

She knew that in addition to herself and Xiaocao, a lot of hard work in the family was done by Xiao San.

But he is only eight years old!

Eight-year-old children, in modern society, are only in the second or third grade of primary school, right? But he has already borne the burden of the family!

She sniffed, blinked the mist on her eyes, and slowly walked towards Xiao San, reaching out to him.

"Little San, give me your hand."

Xiao San glanced at her curiously, and I cautiously glanced at Xiaocao, and then slowly stretched out his hand.

Zhong Xiaohua reached out and touched the little hand that was full of calluses and had a few scars on the back of her hand, and tears couldn't help but roll down. She tried to breathe deeply, trying to calm her emotions a little, but she couldn't.

She stretched out her hand and dragged Xiao San to Xiaocao, and spread out her little hands covered with wounds in front of everyone.

"Eldest sister, do you think this is good? He's only eight years old, he may have a bright future, and he may be able to make a name for himself. But isn't it a pity that we decided everything for them like this? If you look at his hand, is this still a child's hand? He survived, but what is the point of surviving? No! He only survived to have enough to eat. Even in our family, it is difficult to even have a full mouthful of food, so why did we give birth to them in the first place to suffer in this world? ”

Zhong Xiaohua didn't give up, the more she talked, the more excited she became, and her voice became higher and higher.

But Zhong Xiaocao clenched his teeth and looked at Xiao San's hand with red eyes.

"Little San, why don't you tell, don't tell us......"

Looking at the wounds of blood and dirt in the palms of her hands, her tears finally couldn't help but flow down.

After the initial sluggishness, Xiao San quickly withdrew his hand, and just stood beside him with his hands down, silent.

His mind was refreshed for the first time today.

It turned out that their family's living situation could be changed, but Eminem and the eldest sister didn't like them like this......

But why?

Zhong Xiaohua sneered, staring at the grass with red eyes.

"Tell you? What's the use of telling you? Can you help him chop wood or help him carry water? Telling you will only cause you more tears, and telling you that Eminem will still feel that there is nothing important in life except death. Since you gave birth to us, why don't you raise it well? In short, I can't be so nameless, I can't be so content with the status quo, and I have to save and save even an egg. ”

Like a declaration of battle, after Zhong Xiaohua finished speaking, she took a deep look at the dark inner room and turned around to go out.

The sound of her footsteps faded away, and the whole room was eerily silent.

Although the eldest of these children was only in his teens, they vaguely knew that what Zhong Xiaohua was doing now seemed to be to overthrow the entire Zhong family, which was equivalent to the usurpation of the dynasty in ancient times.

"Little San, you ......"

Zhong Xiaocao bit her lip, she was a little older, she knew very well that what Eminem did naturally had her reasons.

But there are some things that can only be done but not said.

Xiao San raised his eyes suddenly, didn't wait for Xiaocao to finish speaking, pulled out a smile with difficulty, and shook his head at Zhong Xiaocao.

"That, eldest sister, my firewood hasn't been packed yet. I'll go out and get it first! ”

Zhong Xiaocao's eyes looked fixedly at the tightly clenched fist when Xiao San went out, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.

"Eldest sister, my second sister is right. I am me, you are you, and I will be a great official. ”

Xiao Wu, who was a young man, raised his head high, because of his thin body, his eyes were more and more abrupt, but the light flashing in those eyes made it impossible for people to look directly at all.

Xiao Liu also nodded after him.

"That's right! Right! Right! I want it too, I want it too. I want to protect the eldest sister, the second sister and the fourth sister, I want meat to eat at every meal, and I want to be able to stay free from starvation and cold in winter. ”

This is when he went down the mountain today, Zhong Xiaohua told him, saying that he could do these things after those hawthorns were sold, and he remembered it clearly in his head.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, pulled their hands and ran outside.

"Let's go see the second sister."

Zhong Xiaodi was left in the whole room, and she timidly raised her eyes to look at Zhong Xiaocao, whose face changed inexplicably, she bit her lip and walked over, reached out to hold Zhong Xiaohua's hand, and spoke softly.

"Eldest sister, don't be sad."

But after a moment's hesitation, she mustered up the courage to speak.

"But I also think that what the second sister said is right."

After saying that, immediately run away.

Zhong Xiaocao stood in place, his thin figure stretched very long.

It seemed like a century had passed before the stiff finally had a move.

She exhaled a soft breath, turned and lifted the curtain into the back room, and the soft voices of the two people slowly rang out.

The deep night passed slowly, Zhong Xiaohua, who woke up, stretched her waist, and was about to get up when she saw Zhong Xiaocao open the curtain and walk in, aiming directly at her.

Is this going to attack yourself?

Zhong Xiaohua looked at Zhong Xiaocao with some caution, but saw her standing in front of her, holding a golden hairpin in her hand, and handed it over.

"What is this?"

The yellow-orange-orange gold is perfectly preserved, and one end of the hairpin is decorated with a butterfly that is about to fly, and the butterfly's wings are also golden, thin and transparent, which is especially strict for workmanship.

Zhong Xiaohua looked at it fixedly, her mind was a mess, and she could even sort out a bloody drama based on this golden hairpin and their current living conditions.

"Didn't you say that you want to change the family's conditions? Eminem said this is for you, and you can see the rest for yourself! It's just that the most important point is that the people in our family are not in the office. ”

Zhong Xiaocao's face was a little haggard, but his eyes were particularly bright, as if he had hope for the future.

Probably, I didn't sleep all night last night, right?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Xiaohua nodded at Xiaocao, and then shook his head.

"Why give me this? Why would you agree? ”

Didn't you say you didn't want to?

Zhong Xiaocao frowned, and didn't want to continue to talk to Zhong Xiaohua, so she directly stuffed the golden hairpin in her hand into her hand, and didn't forget to tell her before turning around and going out.

"It's the only precious thing left in our house, so you can't lose it."

Zhong Xiaohua nodded, and was about to return this thing to Xiaocao, when she saw that the other party had already gone out without looking back.

And before Zhong Xiaohua went out, he saw that a few little radish heads had rushed in.

Zhong Xiaohua smiled at them a little abruptly, with an embarrassed expression on her face.

"Why did you wake up so early? Why don't you call me? ”

As far as she sleeps alone until now, she feels quite embarrassed, after all, lazy is not a good adjective.

"Second sister, we all know that your condition is not well yet, and you need to sleep more."

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled as he spoke, and the others nodded their heads as well.
